As GM Authority was the first to report and later confirmed by General Motors, the current-generation Chevy Trax is set for discontinuation after the 2022 model year, with production slated to end in the third quarter of the 2022 calendar year. In its stead, GM will launch an all-new generation, and now, GM Authority has learned when the next-gen Chevy Trax will be revealed.
2022 Chevy Trax
According to sources familiar with the matter, GM Authority has learned that the all-new 2023 Chevy Trax will be revealed sometime this fall. To note, the first day of fall lands on Thursday, September 22nd.
The current-generation Chevy Trax was initially offered in 2013, later dropping into the U.S. market in 2015.
Moving forward, the all-new 2023 Chevy Trax will bear new front-end styling similar to the Chevy Tracker and Chevy Blazer. Under the hood, the new Trax will cradle a small-displacement engine with turbocharged aspiration. Front-wheel drive will be offered as standard, while all-wheel drive will be optional. Under the skin, the 2023 Chevy Trax will ride on a variant of the GM VSS-F platform.
2021 Chevy Trax
Looking ahead, it would make sense for the 2023 Chevy Trax to be on the affordable side of the pricing spectrum, especially in light of the impending discontinuation of the Chevy Spark. Per previous GM Authority coverage, the Chevy Spark will be dropped from the U.S. market following the conclusion of the 2022 model year, with Chevy Spark production concluding at the GM Changwon plant in South Korea on August 31st. The final order cycle for the 2022 model was on June 16th. The South Korean facility was recently updated with a new paint shop and is slated to begin production of a new small crossover model.
Notably, the 2022 Chevy Spark LS starts at $14,595 with Destination Freight Charge (DFC), making it one of the least-expensive new cars on the market.

I can already hear the naysayers and nattering nabobs of negativism. But wait until you see the all-new TRAX and drive it before passing judgement. It’s just what Chevy needs to fill the lower priced segment with a great looking feature filled vehicle.
I recall about 5 years ago when Bob Lutz said that Tesla would
never be a viable auto company and that they would go bankrupt
I am kind of confused….wasn’t there a new Chevy Trax and Buick Encore that was unveiled in China like two years ago but never brought to the USA?
These two models were created specifically for emerging markets, under the GEM platform, where security requirements are lower than those adopted by the US. They were an alternative to global models, which were very expensive by local standards, especially when compared to the competition. Certainly, the model destined for the USA will be more adapted to the local reality, mainly in terms of security.
@M.H.
Gotcha. Thank you so much
So in other words, they are not dropping the Trax as the article seems to imply. The Trax is just being redesigned. Yes?
Will that be the case with the Buick Encore, as well? Or are the plans still for it to be discontinued in the USA after the 2022 model year?
Isn’t Buick going to be all EV’s by 2025 – if so it doesn’t make sense to have a 2nd gen Encore.
GM was also supposed to discontinue the Buick Encore in the USA after the 2022 model year. Is that still the case, or will the Encore be redesigned, too?
Don t buy always something wrong with motor 2015
Is that a sentence?
Love my 2020 Trax, and when lease up I’ll probably get the 2023 if available
2020 great
What will gas mileage be?
